WASP-18b, which is orbiting a star 1,000 light years from Earth, is so big and close to the sun that it should be pulled toward it. "The spin of the star is...http://www.newser.com/story/67863/new-planet-expected-to-crash-and-burn.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 27 Aug 2009 10:44:01 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/65288/hubble-snaps-photos-of-jupiter-impact.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagNASA pulled the recently upgraded Hubble space telescope out of testing yesterday to take a photo of the Earth-sized impact scar on Jupiter, CNN reports. “Because we believe this magnitude of impact is rare, we are very fortunate to see it with Hubble,” a NASA scientist says. “Details seen in...http://www.newser.com/story/65288/hubble-snaps-photos-of-jupiter-impact.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagSat, 25 Jul 2009 10:24:57 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/64909/jupiter-slammed-by-mystery-object.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagA massive mysterious object scientists believe may be a comet slammed into Jupiter yesterday, AP reports. The Earth-size impact "scar" left by the object was caught on NASA's powerful infrared telescope in Hawaii.
